Pros

Great benefits. Opportunity to grow and upgrade yourself. Easy answer to give when someone says, "Where do you work?"

Cons

Generally speaking, they prefer to pay for project time with interest. Preference to hire transient resources and use overseas workers results in lower quality code that costs more time to get done right over the long run. If you're half descent at what you do, prepare to play the role of a technical janitor. You'll easily get burned out. Not the company's fault, but a large company means lots of bureaucracy for it to function... to the point that productivity gets affected. Lots of internal acronyms to learn. Lower base salary is compensated with higher bonus, which vacillates as needed. Think variable income. Also means the 6% 401k match only applies against your lower base, not your total compensation as a whole.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
